🧠 Codebase Curator
About
A set of tools to use while coding using the Claude code cli. "smartgrep" is a grep-like tool that uses a semantic index of the codebase to provide Claudes with information tailored for how they think. Claudes love it! A "codebase-curator" Claude to assist the "developer" Claude

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
🧠 Codebase CuratorCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install by cloning the repo, running bun install and bun link, then add the MCP server entry to your claude_code_config.json. In Claude Code, use the provided tools (e.g., set_project_path, get_codebase_overview, ask_curator, add_new_feature) to explore and ask questions. Alternatively, use the smartgrep CLI for semantic code search from any directory.

What is Codebase Curator?
Codebase Curator transforms how Claude understands your code. Instead of treating each question as isolated, it gives Claude a persistent, intelligent companion that deeply understands your entire codebase.
The Problem
When you ask Claude about your codebase, it starts from scratch every time:
- 🔄 Repetitive exploration of the same files
- ⏰ Slow responses as it re-discovers your architecture
- 🎯 Inconsistent understanding between questions
- 😕 Generic suggestions that don't fit your patterns
The Solution: Two-Claude Architecture
Codebase Curator spawns a dedicated "Curator Claude" that becomes an expert on YOUR specific codebase:
You (Coding Claude) → "How do I add authentication?"
↓
Codebase Curator → Spawns Curator Claude
↓
Curator Claude → Deeply analyzes your codebase
↓
You get → Specific guidance that fits YOUR patterns
✨ Key Features
🤖 Two-Claude Architecture
- Curator Claude: A dedicated AI that becomes an expert on YOUR codebase - Persistent Sessions: Remembers context between questions - Instant Follow-ups: First question takes 2 minutes, rest are instant🔍 Smart Grep - Semantic Search That Understands Code
